Reception
Due to the game's Japan-exclusive release, reception of Nintendo Puzzle Collection is limited. The game holds an aggregate score of 75% on GameRankings based on two reviews. Michael Cole of Nintendo World Report, reviewing an imported copy, scored Nintendo Puzzle Collection 8 out of 10. Cole felt that Dr. Mario was the weakest selection of the three games available, with "uninspired" graphics and "unforgiving and honestly quite frustrating" gameplay. He remarked that while Panel de Pon was the best selection in regards to gameplay, Yoshi's Cookie had the most beautiful graphics. NowGamer scored the game 7.5, calling Panel de Pon the "highlight of the disc", but remarking that it's "hard to shake the feeling that this is little more than a cheap cashin."
Defunct Games placed Nintendo Puzzle Collection 44th on its list of The 50 Compilations That Rocked The World. While it called the selections "solid" and "just as addictive now as they ever were," it remarked that the title would have ranked higher on the list if more games had been included.
